Abstract
En 中文
Working memory (WM) for motor content – 'motor working memory' (MWM) – has been neglected as a distinct working memory construct but is likely crucial for flexible and adaptive motor behavior and skill learning. We synthesize behavioral and neural evidence that the brain can hold motor information in working memory. We describe how information can be maintained and manipulated in MWM both prospectively, during deferred motor planning, or retrospectively, following movement execution. We propose that – much like other forms of working memory – MWM likely relies on a distributed neural circuit that includes sensorimotor cortex and the prefrontal cortex.
